NOZZ LE FOR HOSE.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,910, dated October 18, Application filed April 27, 1904. Serial No. 205,157. (No model.)

.To all whom it mfcty concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY E. MoKncHNEY, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nozzles for Hose,

which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the ac-' means of which the issuing stream of water may be instantly shut off when occasion demands it.

' of the lever being broken away.

ing the construction.

Other objects and advantages of-the invention will be brought out and made to appear in the'following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters ofrei'erence marked thereon,

' form a part of this specification.

Flgure 1 isaside elevation of my improved nozzle with the operating-lever turned away. Fig. 2 is another side elevation of the nozzle seen as indicated by arrow 2 in Fig. 1, a part Fig. 3 is a central longitudinalv section of the stopper, taken on the dotted line 33 in Fig. 8, the ball being shown partly in elevation. Fig. 4 is a central longitudinal section of the main parts of the nozzle, taken on the dotted line 1 in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a plan of thedevice or end view seen as indicated by arrow 5 in Fig. 1, parts being broken away and the section being as on the dotted line 5 in said Fig. 1. Fig. 6 isaview at the base of the stopper seen as indicated by arrow in Fig. 3, further show- Fig. 7 is a sideelevation of the barrel or middle section of the nozzle seen as indicated by arrow 7 in Fig. 1, further showing the device, parts being shown in various positions by full and dotted lines. Fig. 8 is a plan of the stopper with a part of the ball broken away. Fig. 9 is a central longitudinal section of the base-piece of the nozzle, taken on the dotted line 9 9 in Fig.

i 5, showing the stopper in place within and lower parts of the barrel. Figs. and 5 to 9, inclusive, are drawn to various scales larger than-that of Figs. 1, 2. and 1.

. Referring to the drawings, A is the basepiece of the nozzle, adapted to be removably connected with the coupling on the end of the hose in the usual manner. v

B is the barrel of the nozzle, and G the tip, made slightly conical and threaded onto the end of the barrel B- in the usual manner against a ring 0 of packing andmade temporarily rigid with the barrel, the latter being adapted to slide longitudinally through the reduced part-or neck a of the base-piece A.

A ring D is threaded on the. neck of the base-piece, said ring being hollow or formed with an inner annular chamber 6, Fig. 4, in

which to receive fibrous packing material 0, pressed against the conical end d, Fig. 9, of the base-pieceto prevent leaking between the joined parts. The ring D is formed with a bifurcated standard f, Figs. 1-, 2, 5, and 7, its parallel upwardly-extended branches 0' c'servin'g to hold, respectively, the ends of-a bent or U-shaped lever E, provided forcontrolling the position of the barrel B in the base'part A. The branches of the lever are on opposite sides of the barrel, the latter being provided with two pairs of lateral projections or lugs g g adjacent to the respective branches of the standard f, the two lugs of each pair being separated by a space i, the lever hav-' ing inwardly-projecting pins h it engaging in the spaces 2. v, of the lugs, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The lugs are transverse of the barreL-the lower one of each pair being the stouter, the pins h it of the lever moving transversely between the lugs of the pairs as the lever is turned on its fulcrum-bearingsis k, threaded in the heads of the branches 0 e of the .standard f.

It will be understood that by turning the lever E upward toward the tip C or downward toward the base A, as indicated in Fig. 7, the barrel B will be correspondingly shifted in longitudinal directions in its bearing Z in the neck of the base-picce A,'as shown by the positions indicated by full lines and dotted linesin the figure. As clearly shown in parallel with but at one side of the axis of the l stops the flow of water outward through the nozzle, and from said figure and Fig. 2 it will be further seen that the adjacent faces of the branches of the standard f coincide with said plane. On account of this construction and arrangement of the coacting parts the stand ard constitutes a guide for the lugs during the longitudinal movements of the barrel above described, causing the barrel to move truly longitudinally and without turning in the base-piece A. The construction is also such that the lugs are always in engagement with the standard and controlled by it, the upper ends of the branches 0 a next the lugs being extended or carried out to form right angles, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5.

The base-piece A is formed with an internal thread 727, Fig. 9, at its lower end to turn onto the correspondingly-threaded hose-coupling when connecting the nozzle with the hose. Above the threaded part 771 the part A is formed with a cylindrical chamber 72. mainly for the purpose of holding a packing-ring 51 Above the chamber a the base part A is formed with an internal circular-threaded seat 0 for receiving the threaded circular part or ring p of a stopper F, Figs. 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9, the seat 0 being less in diameter than the threaded part M. hen the stopper .F is put to place in the base-piece A, it is inserted upward through the large open end of the basepiece, and when screwed home or to place against the circular sho'llder .2 of the basepiece the lower surface of the ring p of the stopper is in the plane of the upper shoulder or annular wall a" of the chamber a, as clearly appears in Fig. 9. The ring of packing y bears evenly against the wall a and the basering p of the stopper, the inner end of the hose-coupling pressing the packing-ring ;2 on the lower side when the nozzle is screwed firmly to place upon the hose.

Besides the threaded ring 1) the stopper F comprises a central inverted conical body or part 9'', joined in one piece with the ring by radial wings s and an element 6 of yielding material, as india-rubber, with means a for holding the part t in place. The part 25 is commonly a ball of india-rubber or similar yielding packing material, as shown, the upper part of the body 9 being hollowed out to receive the ball, as shown in Fig. 3. The holding-bolt u pierces the ball diametrically, having its inner end threaded in the part 1 with a washer r and threaded nut 00 above the ball, the bolt being coaxial with the barrel B of the nozzle. \Vhen the stopper is in place in the base-piece A, as shown in Fig. 9, it is coaxial with the nozzle as a whole, and in position to meet or receive the lower hollow end of the barrel when the latter is carried down by the leverE, as above described. Thus the stopper serves to close the inner end of the barrel when the latter is broughtdown against it by the operating-lever E and wholly nozzle until the lever is again turned upward to the position shown in Figs. 1, .5, and T. As the barrel B is pressed with considerable force against the stopper by the lever lC to insure a complete stopping of the stream issuing from the nozzle, the lower lug y of each pair is made stronger than theupper lugs, the pressure of the lever against the upper lugs being only that sutlicient to slide.the barrel upward through the ring of packing c.

1 form the neck (I of the base-piece A with an internal chamber 7', Figs. eland 5), which serves to arrest and hold extraneous or sedimental matter, as sand and grit, held in the flowing water and prevent said matter from entering the packingchamber and l'ouling the packing therein.

By giving to the central part 1' of the stopper F the form of an inverted cone, as shown, I obtain at its upper end a sulliciently broad cup or holder for the yielding part I, while the apex of the cone being turned downward oil'ers the least resistance possible to the stream of water flowing outwardly u nder pressure through the nozzle. This manner of forming the part 1' important, as it notonly ailords both the advantages stated, but it also facilitates the work of constructing the part in the matter of molding and drawing the pattern from the sand. The wings s, projecting from the central part), are usually three in number, as shown, and equally spaced, their lower ends beingreduced to kni te-edges torthe purpose of presenting the least resistance to the onrushing water as it emerges from the end of the hose and enters the nozzle.
